ZA out of catalogue
ZA may not be listed in the periodic table by Mendeleev, but it possesses all the essential traits of an element: a solid nucleus crafted by architect Lionel Jadot and 25 free electrons, all powered by the force of creativity. Over several months, we had the privilege to witness these workshops following a chance encounter with Lionel Jadot during a routine press photoshoot. Quickly immersing ourselves in this unique environment, we found ourselves at the heart of this creative nucleus. Guided by Jerome Hoppe, the resident anthropologist, who provided insights and penned the accompanying text for our project. The layout was expertly handled by Juliette Amigues, the graphic designer from Polymorpha journal. Within these pages lies a shared journey undertaken by these exceptional artists: the restoration of Royale Belge. We extend an invitation to explore this captivating phenomenon within the 293 pages of this book. Prepare to be enthralled by these dedicated creators.

Polymorpha
This magazine was created through a close collaboration with Jeremy Marchant and Juliette Amigue, who is an art binder and graphic designer. The name Polymorpha refers to a species of Cucurbita, also known as Pepo by botanist Carl von Linné. This intriguing name seemed fitting for our project due to its distinctive form. The magazine combines historical context, captivating images, and delicious recipes, providing a brief glimpse into the diverse and unique world of cucurbits. Thanks to Olivier Senterre, the gardener of the pumpkin farm in Braine-l'Alleud, we were granted access to his crops for several days. Inspired by the shapes and colors of the pumpkins, we approached our photography from various angles, blending scientific precision with documentary style reminiscent of the early 1900s. Through this process, we discovered that interpreting an image is just as important as capturing it. Special thanks to Olivier Senterre and Françoise Gabrielle for their generosity in allowing us into their garden and sharing valuable resources. Laurie Greco, Food Stylist, offered invaluable advice and mouthwatering recipes. Dr. Harry Paris's research on Antoine Nicolas Duchesne played a crucial role in shaping our understanding of cucurbits. As a Senior Research Scientist at Israel's Ministry of Agriculture specializing in genetics, cultivation, and history of Cucurbitaceae plants, his work was instrumental in creating this magazine. Access to publications was granted to us by Claire Margerie of the National Museum of Natural History in Paris.
